-. I did not sleep, I did not eat. In the week I was in Bologna, I didn’t go outside at all. I just stayed locked at home, looked at the messages and called my parents every hour, kept in touch with my sister and friends, says Olha Char³an in an interview with ua.tribuna.com.
The war in Ukraine. “In Russia, everyone is silent now”
Char³an is a Ukrainian swordswoman born in Miko³ajów. , silver and bronze medalist from the Rio Olympics and bronze medalist from London. She is one of the most titled Ukrainian sportsmen. He also has many friends and acquaintances in. Or rather, it did, because, as she says, everyone is silent now.
– Only one friend from Russia wrote to me and asked how I was feeling and what was going on. Nothing else. Why? ‘Cause you tell them something is white and they say it is black. And then your head starts to explode. You ask yourself, “How does this happen?” And then comes the thought that – says Charlan.
– At the beginning, a lot of hateful news from Russia was popping up. Later, I stopped watching these sites and people who also wrote to me all this nonsense about Nazis. When I tried to explain to them what it really looked like, I was either ignored or got answers that it was “your truth”. Over and over again the same rubbish repeated as a photocopier. Someone also wrote to me: “Look, there are secret laboratories here.” What secret laboratories? When I get it and read it, I want to scream: God, people! What are you talking about? Turn your brains on! – appeals Char³an.
“The development of such accusations shows that the Russians are capable of it”
But these lies are repeated all the time. Recently, the Russian media have repeatedly accused the United States of developing weapons.
Putin’s propaganda now explains that Russian troops are targeting some Ukrainian cities because they allegedly contain laboratories that are dangerous to the whole of mankind. – Nobody has ever developed any chemical weapons or other weapons of mass destruction on our earth. The dissemination of such accusations in the Russian media shows that they are capable of it -.
– I still do not understand how the Russians can live in such a shell, so much so that they do not see the truth or pretend that it does not exist. On the other hand, if you have been hearing such lies over the years, you can try to understand these people. But this is some kind of surrealism – ends Charlan.
